Hebrews Chapter 1

Berean Standard Bible

The Supremacy of the Son

(Colossians 1:15–23)

1On many pastG3819 occasionsG4181 andG2532 in many different waysG4187, GodG2316 spokeG2980 toG3588 our fathersG3962 throughG1722 theG3588 prophetsG4396. 2But inG1909 theseG3778 lastG2078 daysG2250 He has spokenG2980 to usG1473 byG1722 His SonG5207,1 whomG3739 He appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 whomG3739 He madeG4160 theG3588 universeG165.2

3The Son isG1510 the radianceG541 ofG3588 God’s gloryG1391 andG2532 the exact representationG5481 ofG3588 HisG846 natureG5287, upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 byG3588 HisG3588G846 powerfulG1411 wordG4487. After He had providedG4160 purificationG2512 for sinsG266, He sat downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of theG3588 MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308. 4So He becameG1096 as farG5118 superiorG2909 to theG3588 angelsG32 asG3745 the nameG3686 He has inheritedG2816 is excellentG1313 beyondG3844 theirsG846. 5ForG1063 to whichG5101 of theG3588 angelsG32 did God ever sayG4218G2036:

“YouG4771 areG1510 MyG1473 SonG5207;todayG4594 IG1473 have become Your FatherG1080G4771”3?

Or againG3825:

“IG1473 will beG1510 HisG846 FatherG3962,andG2532 HeG846 will beG1510 MyG1473 SonG5207”4?

6AndG1161 againG3825, whenG3752 God bringsG1521 His firstbornG4416 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG3625, He saysG3004:

“Let allG3956 God’sG2316 angelsG32 worshipG4352 HimG846.”5

7NowG2532G3303 aboutG4314 theG3588 angelsG32 He saysG3004:

“HeG3588 makesG4160 HisG846 angelsG32 windsG4151,HisG846 servantsG3011 flamesG5395 of fireG4442.”6

8ButG1161 aboutG4314 theG3588 SonG5207 He says:

“YourG4771 throneG2362, OG3588 GodG2316, endures foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG3588G165,andG2532 justiceG2118 is the scepterG4464 ofG3588 YourG4771 kingdomG932.9You have lovedG25 righteousnessG1343andG2532 hatedG3404 wickednessG458;thereforeG1223G3778 GodG2316, YourG4771 GodG2316, has anointedG5548 YouG4771aboveG3844 YourG4771 companionsG3353 with the oilG1637 of joyG20.”7

10AndG2532:

“InG2596 the beginningG746, O LordG2962, YouG4771 laid the foundationsG2311 of theG3588 earthG1093,andG2532 theG3588 heavensG3772 areG1510 the workG2041 ofG3588 YourG4771 handsG5495.11TheyG846 will perishG622, butG1161 YouG4771 remainG1265;they will all wear outG3956G3822 likeG5613 a garmentG2440.12You will roll them upG1667G846 likeG5616 a robeG4018;likeG5613 a garmentG24408 they will be changedG236;butG1161 YouG4771 remainG1510 theG3588 sameG846,andG2532 YourG4771 yearsG2094 will never endG3756G1587.”9

13YetG1161 toG4314 whichG5101 of theG3588 angelsG32 did God ever sayG4218G2046:

“SitG2521 atG1537 MyG1473 right handG1188untilG2193G302 I makeG5087 YourG4771 enemiesG2190 a footstoolG5286 forG3588 YourG4771 feetG4228”10?

14AreG1510 notG3780 the angels11 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151 sentG649 to serveG1248G1223 those whoG3588 willG3195 inheritG2816 salvationG4991?
